Law Enforcement

The Law Enforcement program at Surry Community College provides Basic Law Enforcement Training designed to prepare entry level individuals with the cognitive and physical skills to become certified police officers and deputy sheriffs in the state of North Carolina. Additionally, we offer Detention Officer Certification for any individual seeking employment or recertification as a detention officer at a local or regional confinement facility or county jail.

All courses within Surry’s Law Enforcement program are governed by the North Carolina Sheriff’s Education and Training Standards Commission and the North Carolina Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission.
